Ever since his start as a producer, engineer and artist in the music industry, he has sold over seventy-five million records. In addition to records, Deezle has also made musical contributions alongside Donald Harrison to movie scores such as: Right to Return and Rachel Getting Married by Academy Award–winning filmmaker, Jonathan Demme.
